History

During the late 1990s, an increasing number of distressed parents and caretakers whose teens were not currently at Cocoon House were calling seeking advice and referral about their youth. Many were ready to drop their teen off at Cocoon's Shelter because they felt they had no alternative.

Recognizing the growing number of homeless youth and parents seeking assistance, Cocoon House saw the importance of moving upstream to prevent the number of youth showing up at our shelter for housing and supportive services. Project SAFE was born in 2002 to address this critical need.

In 2003, Cocoon House acquired the WayOUT Program, which was previously run through the Snohomish County Human Services department.
